Speaking to a DMB at work and he told me his father-in-law was a staunch Wanderers fan and would drink in the Sweet Green before the game.  I replied ‘Bit of a lad in his time’? He says ‘No, he’d have a beer in there then go to the game over Orlando Bridge”

Me: ’So he was a lad then’ 😂. Nobody did that routine without wanting a bit of a ding-dong 😂 

Even if he’s not a bit of a lad he’ll of seen some sights.

Got to wonder why he let his daughter bring one of those cunts home.

Last time I went in the sweet green I got charged £18.30 for 3 pints of Guinness by the most miserable bar woman of all time. Shithole.

When did Dianne Abbott work there?

Was in the SGT when it kicked off with Boro, rescued a young teenager from the NE who was in shock and took him down to the ground in my mates wife's car.

I got run over outside there in 75 and spent Christmas in Barnes Ward

Did you get brandy in your pudding ?

I've never been in the sweet green tavern 

My pre match pub was the General Havelock

SGT was a fantastic pint of Tetleys back in the late 80s / early 90s when the landlord was an ex copper I think (had a slight scouse accent but I didn't hold it against him as it was an A1 pint). He also sold Ye Olde pasties.

Last time I went in the bar staff had faces like slapped arses, the customers were a weird unfriendly clique and the ale was undrinkable. Such a shame

Don't think so but the nurses were alright... I was "Wide Eyed and Legless"

They moved the bar before the lockdowns and it's aright shithole. No cask on when I went in last, no customer in either. I told the slapped arse faced bar person I had to run for my train so I couldn't have another.

Long ago I went in the Havelock while I was waiting for tyres put on a company car. That was a bit wild westish, mind you I had a tie on. Landlord thought I was plain clothes and brushed some 'baccy' off one of the tables sharpish.

The moving of the bar just hasn’t  worked.

Does anyone remember the Great Dane that lived in the SGT - mid to late 70s?

Landlord of SGT is more interested in his other bar Piggy Banks opposite the station.

Just as famous for being a miserable fucker, but yes.

Didn't his wife tumble down the stairs in the SGT ? ( I say this as a question rather than a statement of fact).

Blokes in with me:

One who ended up with a mini gearbox on his lap after a head on

Another who had a fork lift truck crush his ankle

Crunch Crompton... he had shotgun wounds

If you tell me his injury I might remember him
